NOZZLE-CAN.

Specification of Letters Patent. Patented June 22, 1920.

Application filed April 13, 1917. Serial'No. 161,735.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LOUIS KLINGMAN, a citizen of the United States, residing in Cleveland, in the county of Cuyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Nozzle-Cans, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates in general to cans and more particularly to cans in which a detachable nozzleis provided for pouring and adapted to be removed from the pouring opening and kept in convenient loca tion between the periods of use.

A principal object of the invention is the provision of a suitable holder for said nozzle, which will be of su'liiciently convenient arrangement to induce the user to place the nozzle in the holder between the periods of use, and which may be provided with little or no additional cost in the manufacture of the can.

Other objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent as it is better understood from the following description when considered in connection with the accompanying drawings illustrating a preferred embodiment thereof.

On the drawing,

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a can embodyingmy present invention;

Fig. 2 is an enlarged prespective view taken at a different angle of the holder.

For the purpose of illustrating my invention I have shown on the drawing a can containing automobile oil and adapted to be carried beneath the seat of an automobile,

although it will be manifest as the invention is better understood that the invention has other applications.

This can consists of the usual body 11 provided with a neck 12 adapted to be closed by the ordinary cap 13, which cap may be removed and replaced by the nozzle indicated at 14 to permit the contents'of the can to be poured as may be desired. Upon the top of the can a handle 15 of sheet metal is provided, its ends 16 being secured to the body. This handle is provided with means for carrying the nozzle, in the present inzle may be held.

stance being provided with two slits 17 near one end.. The material between the slits is bent up into a loop 18 and the material beyond the slits is bent inwardly or down in two loops 19 forming a passageway between the loops 18 and 19 in which the noz- This provides a convenient arrangement for holding the nozzle and it is substantially as easy to push the nozzle though the opening between the loops 18 and 19 as it is to drop it in the tool box or other place where it may be lost or damaged. The holder is thus provided without adding any material and without necessitating any expensive machine operations.

7 It is thought that the invention and many of its attendant advantages will be understood from the foregoing description, and it will be apparent that various changes may be made in the form, construction and ar rangement or the parts without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention or sacrificing any of its material advantages, the form hereinbefore described being merely a preferred embodiment thereof.

I claim:

1. The combination of a can having a v pouring opening, and a pouring nozzle, said can having a sheet metal handle formed at one side of its graspable portion with longitudinal slits, the metal at the sides of said slits being bent respectively inward and outward to form a holder for the nozzle in which the nozzle, when in place therein, extends transversely to the handle.
